Some more from Vinyl Tap’s bargain basement.
The Bad Manners singles are My Girl Lollipop and Lorraine.

I don’t have any Christmas singles, but I bought this picture disc a few weeks ago.
Funny, isn’t it, that Gary Glitter’s Christmas single got pulled years ago due to his awful crimes. Phil Spector’s record doesn’t appear to have suffered, despite him murdering a woman.

Dog Eared by the fabulous Yorkshire folk-popster Billie Marten. She’s yet to make an album that’s less than fantastic. This will be one of my top 5.
Me and Jimmy V were unlucky that the gig of hers in Leeds that we were going to was on a night where the flooding stopped us getting there

Not sure what the other 4 albums in my top 5 for 2025 will be, but F.L.A.W by Napoleon da Legend & Giallo Point will be in the top 1!
If you like rap/hip hop, MF DOOM or, especially, Gang Starr/Guru, give this one a listen and you won’t regret it.

I got some shockers on Discogs this week though. This record was sold as NM and was like this all over. It looked like mould, if anything.

It’s very satisfying when a price sticker comes straight off a 40 year old record without a fight, or taking a chunk of the sleeve with it, isn’t it?

Here’s 16 new (old) LPs I’ve been really pleased to get this year, some of which had been near the top of my wants list for some time.

This was supposed to be my top 20 albums of 2025 that I have on LP/CD, but I miscounted, so it’s a top 21. My 3 favourite albums this year are:
1 - F.L.A.W. by Napoleon da Legend & Giallo Point
2 - Flux by Alison Goldfrapp
3 - Antidepressants by Suede

I met my (now ex) wife in that office there. So if you ever get your hands on a TARDIS please nip back to 1999 and have a word with me. And make sure I listen!

Unless we decide Paul McCartney’s solo debut was McCartney, rather than the soundtrack to The Family Way, my 5 will come from this selection.

After being skint for months I finally have a bit of money to buys records with, so here’s some singles I bought this week.
A couple of crackers too, as the B-Side of the Prefab Sprout one is Cruel & the B-Side of the Madness one is Bed and Breakfast Man (which is why I bought it)

and it seems that I’m not the only one who jumped to the wrong conclusion. At least I didn’t put my mistake in print!
Well, actually I guess I did, cos I asked you on Twitter! Anyway, here’s the review in question.

3 fab new 12” singles that arrived yesterday. And if these three songs aren’t enough there’s a great live cover of Badfinger’s brilliant No Matter What on the B-Side of the Jellyfish single. Powerpoptastic!

Here are two examples for sale by a company registered with both AFTAL and UACC, so these two are genuine. The ‘Les’ is almost identical, so if it’s not genuine it’s a very good copy.
Of course, Les died quite some time ago, so if the ink looks age appropriate I’d be considering that genuine.

I was lucky enough to start watching TOTP and taking an interest in the charts at a time when truly great singles were being released and being successful.
The first single I bought was Pop Muzik and I got the other 3 in the first photo next. And here’s 12 more early singles I had

I was at Tony Currie’s testimonial at Bramall Lane. Sheff United past players v this team of footy legends and showbiz stars. George Best scored a cracker. In the last minute the ref awarded a dodgy penalty, so that Currie could score a goal. But Scouse comic Mick Miller saved it!

I have a bit of room on the rap and jazz shelves too, if I move the boxed sets, although 12” single overspill is encroaching. So if I run out of space again by next Christmas I’ve either come in to some money, taken to a life of crime, or really need to rethink my life priorities..
